This filing may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance). Koch Gateway requests authorization to place into jurisdictional service a 20-inch tap installed under Section 311(a) of the NGPA and Section 284.3(c) of the Commission's regulations. This facility is located on Koch Gateway's pipeline designated as Index 300, in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana. Koch Gateway states that, currently, use of this facility is limited solely to shippers utilizing transportation service under Part 284, Subpart B of the Commission's regulations. Koch Gateway further states that upon approval of this request for certification, Acadian will be able to receive gas transported to this facility pursuant to jurisdictional open-access transportation agreements as well as Part 284, Subpart B facilities will provide Acadian access to shippers utilizing Natural Gas Act transportation service and, thus, will provide Acadian with additional flexibility in obtaining gas supplies. Koch Gateway also states that Acadian estimates its peak day requirements for this facility are 200,000 Dth, and that such quantities will be transported pursuant to Koch Gateway's Firm Transportation Service and Interruptible Transportation Service Rate Schedules. Koch Gateway states that certification of the subject facility will not have an impact on its peak day and annual deliveries because no change in service is proposed. Koch Gateway further states that it will continue operate the facility in compliance with 18 CFR, Part 157, Subpart F; that it has sufficient capacity to render the proposed service without detriment or disadvantage to its other existing customers; and that its tariff does not prohibit the proposed change in jurisdictional status of the subject facilities or the addition of new delivery points. Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
